The tf.keras.datasets.mnist.load_data function does not accept a path argument. Instead, it downloads the MNIST dataset automatically or uses a cached version if it has already been downloaded. By providing the path argument (data_path), you’re likely causing the dataset loading process to fail silently or skip variable assignment.
hi @eciuffo
are you encountering that failing message when you run down the load dataset cell?
can you share a screenshot on what you are trying to state?
yes mnist dataset downloads but the path(data path) recall will be used in further exercise to create the dataset as per the assignment instructions in further cell.
It is working now. I tried to rerun it now, and I could not reproduce the error. I also do not have the screenshot where the issue happened. At the time, I was able to work around the issue by adding a new cell with an updated code.
There must have been probably some kernel disconnectivity issue when you must have run down codes last time.
Keep Learning!!!
